Abstract:
In modern blood banking services, blood banks and transfusion services, follow a standard operation procedure during preparation and the quality control of blood components. The Quality Management involves identification and selection of prospective blood donors, adequate collection of blood, preparation of blood components, quality laboratory testing and ensuring the safest and most appropriate use of blood/blood components: the objective is to ensure availability of high quality blood components for transfusion. A management model and a managing software is developed for the quality control procedures of main blood products: erythrocyte suspensions, thrombocyte suspensions, and fresh frozen plasma with reference to the Guide by European Council. The user can access detailed data for each of the prepared blood component; to prepare annual summations, and to manage QC processes effectively. It reduces the risk of producing defective components, by giving alarms to the QC Specialist. Unified Modeling Language is used as the Object-Oriented Modeling Design Platform and the software is developed on Eclips SDK, on a Java platform. Since data size is limited a simple memorysave function is used to a Java HashMap.|Keywords: Quality Control of Blood Components, Software for Quality Control Managing, UML Design of Quality Control of Blood Components
